POM injection moulding

Injection moulded POM parts

Polyoxymethylene (POM) is also known as acetal plastic and under the brand name Delrin®. It is one of the most popular engineering materials. It is mainly used in the automotive, many industrial and electrical industries.
We process POM at our global injection moulding sites in Germany, the USA, Brazil and China.

Injection moulding of POM COmpounds - tailored to your application

POM plastic has high dimensional and form stability combined with good mechanical properties, making it ideal for injection moulding mechanically stressed components. Depending on the customer's specific application, we can supplement the POM polymer with additives to create special application-specific POM compounds.

POM injection moulding technology

One of the most important processing methods for polyoxymethylene is injection moulding. Micro injection moulding is also worth mentioning and is suitable for the production of small, dimensionally accurate parts.
POM can be easily processed on our injection moulding machines. Our extensive knowledge of injection moulding processes, moulds and temperature control technology ensures that our parts are of the required high quality.

Why Ensinger for POM injection moulding?

We develop moulded parts for our customers' specific applications. This includes proprietary compounds, injection moulding and tooling technologies, assemblies and other value-adding secondary processes to strict quality control standards. 

Improving efficiency and reducing friction 

Energy efficiency and resource conservation are becoming increasingly important in the design of machinery, equipment and vehicles. POM injection moulded parts are widely used in the engineering, general machinery and automotive industries, e.g. in sliding applications such as bearing bushes, rollers, slide rails, ball bearing cages, but also gears, valves, fittings and other components in contact with water, in the food and drinking water industries.

Other POM injection moulding applications are in electrical engineering, e.g. electrical insulation parts, and in the medical industry.
